Abdul Majeed, M.D. and Hilmi Karadeniz, M.D. will be featured speakers at the ISSCA Regenerative Medicine Cell Therapies Symposium in Istanbul, Turkey April 28, 2018. Majeed will discuss findings of a recent study on intra-arterial injection of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells in ischemic stroke patients. Karadeniz will speak on current approaches to application of regenerative treatments in athletes.

Majeed is a hematologist, consultant, FRCP London, and a pioneer in stem cell transplantation and stem cell therapies in Iraq. He heads Global Stem Cells Group affiliate Stem Cell Centre in Baghdad. In 1992, he obtained a degree from the Board of Internal Medicine and served as the head of the medicine department Bin Majid hospital in Basra, southern Iraq.

In 2004, Majeed invited Prof. Marino Andolina (a pediatric immunologist from Trieste Italy) to Baghdad to perform the first autologous bone marrow transplant in Iraq. In 2009, Majeed and his team in Iraq began providing bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy for spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and other medical conditions. He served as director of the bone marrow transplantation unit at the medical city hospital in Baghdad from 2011 to 2017.

Karadeniz specializes in orthopedics and traumatology including sports medicine and surgery, arthroplasty, trauma surgery, spinal surgery, and ultrasound-guided PRP applications.
